Liberal and Conservative are unfortunate labels we use these days. As an open minded, free thinking adult who cares deeply about his fellow man, I find that my heartfelt opinions on the issues of the day run the political gammut. If a Liberal is one who is open to change, open minded, free thinking, and accepting of others around him - even those with very different points of view - then I am a Liberal. If a Liberal is one who hates consrevatives, ridicules those who speak opposing points of view, and lashes out at public expressions of faith - then I want no part of that label.

Doug - I hope you recognized my comment above "for conservatives; this land is NOT your land!" as sarcasm.
